The 27-year-old wore a blue minidress, a fringed suede jacket, boots and a huge smile when she left the Cliffside Malibu facility at 6pm on July 30.

But don’t grab the kids and run for cover yet—Lindsay is reportedly taking responsibility for her recovery.

“She’s telling people in her life she feels like she needs a transition period before re-entering the real world on her own,” reveals TMZ. “Sources close to Lindsay tell us she’ll be staying with a sober coach somewhere in Los Angeles for the next few days.”

It seems Lindsay is also ready to get her career back on track. She will make her first big public appearance when she guest-hosts Chelsea Lately on August 5.
